Great review, thanks! Unfortunately I ordered this camera before I watched your video...
THANK YOU! I've been recruited to stream my daughter's basketball games. I've learned that the video gets trashed through the stream. So, I'm considering a second camera for recording purposes only and ran across the Akaso by accident. Your videos have convinced me that the AKASO Brave 4 the solution to my problem and shows that it's capable of handling the job at it's very impressive price point. Sure it doesn't compare apples to apples to the big brand competitors but for my needs it's a winner. One need being not to spend a fortune.
check back in and let us know how it works out!
i bought this b4 i saw your video and tried it out today and for under 90$ gotta say im impressed, the quality and the amount of accessories is surprising, only issue is the connecting to wifi is kind of a pain, but i like this cam better than the old gopro i had years ago.
That's cool to hear you are liking it! Mine is still running strong. Enjoy.
I'd been looking at this one and was on the fence until I saw your review. I used your link to make the purchase. Thanks, Doug! Merry Christmas!
That's so awesome it was helpful! Check back in and let us know how you are liking it. Thanks for the support and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I just bought mine to start recording drum covers so this one seems perfect without spending hundreds of dollars.
Sounds like a great use for it.
thank you for the upload and the presentation, I'm just now clicking on it to buy the camera in Hungary, I wish you good health :)
Thanks so much for letting us know where you are checking in from. That is so cool.
@@DOUGandNIKI soon from a depth of 2000 meters, from Egypt, there is a shark there, I have to fight it :D :D
@@handymansworksezermestermu3940 Go get it!
Great! Thanks for the review. I want to film virtual walks/hikes & this will be perfect.
That's so cool 😎. Good luck with it.
I bought this product during cyber Monday ❤ 0:37
Cool... Liking it?
How much was it? The bundle with 128gb is 93 and the 64gb is 79. Just wondering the diffrence between now and the black friday deals
Thanks for the review. You and two thirds of those who bought this camera on Amazon gave it a 5 out of 5.
Do you have it?
@@DOUGandNIKI No I don't but, I'm seriously thinking about getting it. I just bought an ebike, a new helmet, cell phone holder, and side mirrors. If I bought that camera now, my wife would probably cop a tude. So, I'll wait until my birthday to get it in order to keep the peace. 😁
I know how that goes! I want an ebike myself
it would be nice to post on the description, the camera you are using to film yourself outside, quality is superb.
OH! GoPro Hero 12 or 11 so not a fair comparrison.
Great short and to the point review!
Glad you liked it!
I haven't seen any videos on this connecting to the app to control it the app on a phone or notepad. Does anyone know where I can find the info?
Doug could you PLEASE make a video for first time users on how to set this (AKASO Brave 4) up and use slow motion and zoom. I have just purchased one and can’t figure out how to zoom, slow motion or turn up the volume. I must have missed something. Please help 🙏
That's a good idea 💡 🤔 but my schedule is VERY full. But it's a really good idea.
Do u think it would he good for disc golf youtube videos just got one for christmas
I think you could use it to get some cool B-Roll shots where the camera is mounted to the hole (is that what you call it) or say stationairy on a tripod and you throw the disk past it.
Thanks for the video Doug I'm looking for something inexpensive demount to my motorcycle helmet to record road trips was this the brave 4 or the brave 4 Pro
I haven't used the 4 Pro yet so I can't speak to that. But, for the dollars, it's pretty hard to beat the Brave 4. I don't think you can go wrong.
Can you do a video on how to put on a helmet
Interesting question... Does that really need a video? Is there something in particular your trying to figure out?
@@DOUGandNIKI yea like does it work on a motorcross helmet
@@Proxy104 It works with standard GoPro mounts so you can just put the curved sticker mount on your helmet.
Mahalo for the ease of review..subbed 🤙🏻
Thanks so much! That means a lot.
great review Doug!!
Thanks Buddy!
I have to ask what kind of microSD card (and its specs) did you get for the camera? As well as what settings you had for the video (resolution, ISO, etc.) because I just got a Brave 4 (because it's very budget friendly) but my video is coming out noisy/grainy.
So, I almost always use Sandisk Extreme's for my microSD cards. I don't remember exactly what settings I used, this review was a while ago and I've tested/used so many camera's since then! I generally try not to do crazy custom setups when I do these because I think it's not really representative of what a normal user's experience will be so I normally leave it the way it was out of the box. Are you using yours in full light or low light?
What’s your thoughts on using this for snorkeling? Thanks man.
It will be good for snorkeling. Not a GoPro but for what it costs it's outstanding. If you get one let us know how it works for you.
I have to now if someone using like dash cam in the car
That's an interesting question... we'll see if someone responds with an answer.
Thanks for your attention and introduction videos of different items
Glad you enjoyed and they were helpful!@@grdcftfree6720
Doug, great review. I want a dashcam for a very limited purpose, i.e. my periodic 2 day drives to Florida and back. My car is NOT dashcam friendly (1 power port tucked at the bottom of the center console).
I don't care about a dashcam for everyday driving and not interested in parking mode, etc. I just want the 15 minutes around any accident/incident.
This cam seems to fit my needs with its looping function. I would probably power it from an external battery, stowed somewhere safe. Or just swap out the internals at my "pee breaks."
My question is: for my purposes I dont want to use the water housing (overheating issues). Can i mount this (naked) on a dash mount and if so, can you recommend a good but inexpensive dashboard mount?
One think I want to point out... just as a counter thought. Your video from this camera is 100% useless in court because it isn't locked and there for could have been altered. That's the big difference from a real dashcam. Uhmm.. Dashmounts are a dime a dozen on Amazon. I have never found one that I loved, they all kind of suck a little bit. I prefer the giant sucktion cup to the window but the unit I use is genuinely enourmous.
@DOUGandNIKI Thanks Doug. One more question: can you power this cam from an external source via the USB port?
@@bill9989 hmmm... I don't know. You'd need to ask them directly. Sorry.
I just got this camera for diving. I’ve been wondering how you turn on dive mode.
Hmm... I don't know. I'll see if I can find the instruction manual.
Maybe in another 100 years the manufacturers will deem it profitable to make videos showing how to assemble and use. ????? I don't know, ...... maybe I'm just a big dreamer dreaming dreams too big for this world ............. 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤥🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨😵💫😵💫🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
one question how would you transfer it to your phone
I'm not sure, I don't use my phone for much that way. I do all my editing on PC
I was wondering if I could use it to film baseball pov ????
I don't see why not. Sounds like a fun project.
Hi what is a good editor software for beginners thanks.
What a great question but I'm not the best to answer that. I use a full suite of a Adobe products but I know there are good relatively cheap options. I just can't remember the names. A quick search here on TH-cam will get you some great answers.
@@DOUGandNIKI awesome thanks I have been looking for some free options too!
I just got one. plan on useing it . for trail riding and mudding. prob clipped to my hat or useing a head mount.. may end up getting some mud on it. alreadyhave a idea how i can waterproof the remote.. id be happy doing 1080p at 30-60fps. but im a absolute noob to camera's
I think you made a great choice for that. Make sure you check back in and let us know how it goes!
Does it make mp4 video...I had one that did .MOV files and I could never do editing then TH-cam with that file format.
Oh wow...I feel like I should instantly remember that but I'm drawing a total blank!
@@DOUGandNIKI 🤣🤣 I get it...Thanks anyway
I ordered this from Amazon based on your video, great video by the way!
I will be using it on the end of a fishing rod, lowering it down around 90 feet deep, then observing schools of fish, structure, etc in the ocean. Is there a way I could view the video while doing this? If not, then is the best way to reel it back up, take out the card, insert into a laptop, and view the video that way? Thanks!
You should post those videos!
How is this compared to ek7000?
They both had subtle difference but neigher was dramatically different.
@@DOUGandNIKI I am seeing more positive reviews for ek7000.. but ek7000 I am seeing also has touch screen in addition to everything else the regular ek7000 does.. so I am leaning more towards ek7000 pro. Thank you very much
Thanks, Im convinced that I need til DJI😅
Nothing wrong with a DJI.
Thanks for this video. I did have a question, does it have a USB C port so I could connect and power a wireless mic receiver? Or would I need a different camera?
I've heard the GoPro's don't offer that feature but some others do but I can't find anything that talks about external microphones.
Your outside of what I know. Even with GoPro's which have USBC's you need a special adapter to use them for audio. Your going to need to ask Akaso about that.
@@DOUGandNIKI oh ok. Thank you for this. I'll send them a message and see what they say. I appreciate the help. Happy holidays!
@@canucha1985 Let us know what you find out. It's a good question.
Hey bro, which Akaso 4k model is the best so far? Wanna use it inside an airplane
This is actually the first one I've tested. They don't provide them for me, I'm buying them and trying them and this one seemed like a great balance of performance and cost so that's why I bought it for myself.
I just got one can you please tell me how I can get videos from it and edit them and post them that's been my big problem with cameras
Getting them is easy...you just take the memory card and put it in a memory card reader and then you can copy them over to your computer easy. Editing is a long conversation but one you should check out because it's fun! I'm not an expert on telling people how to do that so you'll have to do a little searching here on TH-cam but there are entire channels oriented around that. You'll find great help and tutorials that way. Enjoy the camera!
@@DOUGandNIKI thanks
Could you by any chance make a video on how to connect to the wifi 😅 on the app it shows a touchscreen camera and different settings then the nowadays brave 4 so it would be very helpful
That's a great idea! I'll try to do that.
@@DOUGandNIKI Thank’s!
@@DOUGandNIKI you just got yourself another sub!
@@lifewithunicorn5 Thanks so much!
@DOUG and NIKI have you made it yet
I was freaking out inside… I thought you were about to give it a 5 out of 10…
It ain’t THAT bad
I think it's really exactly what you pay for and there is real value there.
I agree. It may not be a professional, top-tier camera, but it certainly is useful!
Good information, buy it to record my offroad routes in colombia, as data, that offers extra batteries, do not send them to colombia.
Oh...that's a bummer! Are you living in Columbia or going on Vacation?
@@DOUGandNIKI I live in colombia
@@jeysonvelandia532 Welcome to the channel! Is that a regular problem with Amazon in Columbia?
You mention it has great battery life. How long will it run for and how long does it take to charge back up?
You know...your the second person who asked that and it's making me think I should do a time test in future videos. I'm not exactly sure but it was inline with what my GoPro's were doing it wasn't like I was changing the battery twice in the AKASO for every time I went through a battery on the GoPro. That's the best I can do, I was comfortably getting everything done compared to my other cameras.
@@DOUGandNIKI Have you figured out yet why people keep asking you these types of questions ??????
@@wingedinfinity777 I see it's clearly an issue people wonder about. When I see these things the best I can do is try to remember them and cover them in new videos. Keep trying to do a better job.
@@DOUGandNIKI Yes, that is something we all need to do....keep trying to do better.
@@DOUGandNIKI My point is that if someone is going to show a product and then moreso recommend the product, it would be good to explain how to use the product being recommended. But if that's not your intention for your videos then I understand. I think you would score big time on views if you were consistent on doing so. Again, the manufacturers are too busy making their next version or model.
Thank you, very helpful. Take care 👋
Glad it was helpful! Are you asking for one from Santa or shopping for someone else?
very nice video sir ,
I just purchased this camera after watching this review .
Can you please tell how to take slow motion video is Akaso brave 4 camera ?
For me I just shoot it at 60fps and then drop that into a 30fps timeline and I'm at 50% speed. I use Premiere Pro.
Mine looks very pixelated even in 4k, I put on it a 256gb SD card as the manual said, does anyone know what I can do?
I'd make sure you recheck the setting and you've got 4k and a low iso
It was the iso, ty brother
The sound quality is hoorible
Do you have one?
@@DOUGandNIKI I do. With the water proof case it sounds like crap and without it it’s like someone is constantly blowing into the mic. I would recommend getting an external mic to enhance the experience if you use it for vlogs
@@SCHWABENTRUCKING Good advice except I don't think you can use an external mic attached to the camera...can you? Lots of people ask, what have you found?
Waao unbelievable ❤️👍❤️❤️👍🙏
Thanks.
Okay I can't watch the files and other programs other than the brave software
hmm...I think you are the second person who has said that. I don't know why. Let's see if someone else can comment and help out.
Hi, Could you please share the akaso camera settings which are used to capture this action video ?
I went very basic, all I did was change to the 120fps 1080p setting. I didn't change any other settings. Do you have one of these?
@@DOUGandNIKI Thanks for Sharing the Setting details. I recently bought an Akaso Brave 4 action camera. I'm a new bee to your channel. I like all your crazy videos. This Cam doesn't have slow motion. Did you convert the normal video into slow motion using Akaso go app Editor ?
@@saran3g I do all my editing in Premiere Pro so I'm able to easily slow the footage down in that software. What kind of footage are you shooting and looking to slow down?
@@DOUGandNIKI Thanks for updates... Keep rocking with crazy stuffs
You say the brave 4 looks really good, but you hit one bump and it's focus completely shifts and leaves the video afterwards completely unusable for the average person...
Are you sure you aren't talking about when I blurred out the back of my vehicle in the driveway?
@@DOUGandNIKI possibly but bluring out 95% of the filed of view while at that moment saying it looks really good seems like a bad plan in a review 🤣 I've just watched it again and it looks like the camera becomes focused just on the car, losing detail everything else. It's not just the cars that are blurred but the entire world apart from the RC car chassis. The trees, the house, the driveway, you lose all of it. Looks more like a camera malfunction due to hitting the bump.
🤨🤨🤨🤨
I like my Acaso Brave 4 way better than my GoPro 10
3:45
yes
This camera is ASS
Is that youth speak for good?
@@DOUGandNIKI no it’s what it sounds like
@@owenwalker1 When did you get yours?
Maybe in another 100 years the manufacturers will deem it profitable to make videos showing how to assemble and use. ????? I don't know, ...... maybe I'm just a big dreamer dreaming dreams too big for this world ............. 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤥🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨😵💫😵💫🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Did you get one from Santa?
@@DOUGandNIKI No, I bought it myself ! 😃 And I actually found Akaso's YT channel which has videos showing how to use the accessories. The only problem is they didn't show how to use the accessories to use it as a dash cam. Probably because they sell a dash cam. But they show in pictures for the other cameras that they also can be used for dash cams !!😩
@@DOUGandNIKI Akaso's manuals leave a lot to be desired.
